Over the past four decades, the share of income devoted to health care nearly tripled. If policy is unchanged, this trend is likely to continue. Should Americans decide to rein in the growth of health care spending, they will be forced to consider whether to ration care for the well-insured, a prospect that is odious and unthinkable to many. This book argues that sensible health care rationing can not only save money but improve general welfare and public health. It reviews the experience with health care rationing in Great Britain. The choices the British have made point up the nature of the options Americans will face if they wish to keep public health care budgets from driving taxes ever higher and private health care spending from crowding out increases in other forms of worker compensation and consumption. This book explains why serious consideration of health care rationing is inescapable. It also provides the information policymakers and concerned citizens need to think clearly about these difficult issues and engage in an informed debate.

I have attempted to tackle practical problems, whether on full employment, growth, underdeveloped economics, inflation, the effects of direct investment over
seas, the selective employment tax, or the investment of portfolios. To do so, I have sought to combine theory with realistic data and to look for the factors which are quantitatively important, rather than those which are intellectually stimulating. I have tried to be pragmatic in my choice of methods for tackling problems and to be clear about the alternative position with which comparisons are effectively being made (and to be sure that it is a meaningful and consistent one).
Favourite slogan for pupils and research colleagues: Tt is better to be roughly right than to be precisely wrong (or irrelevant).1.
